Rodízio Brasil

Loved it! Good Brazilian food, excellent service and a nice well-​located place. Go for the traditional meet rodizio.

Nota 10 em geral.
O restaurante e chiquerrimo!
A picanha divina, polenta frita, tudo perfeito com exceção do tempero do feijao que não e igual o de minas.
O rodízio e muito bom, carne a vontade ate cansar e caipirinha uma delicia!
Sou apaixonado e ja e a quinta vez que vou lá. Esse restaurante foi uma benção pra Montréal que não tinha nada que prestava para matar a saudade de IM verdadeiro rodízio brasileiro.

This bar is the worst attempt at being a Brazilian restaurant I have ever seen. The service was horrendous. I had to flag down our waitress and the server several times. The salad bar was empty and in a huddled corner. The food was unseasoned and often undercooked or overcooked. My wife even got nauseous from the smell. Le milsa is a best choice if you’re looking for a better meal. It is similar to Fodo de Chao or other higher quality rodizios. Save your money and time by avoiding this place at all cost.

Came here with a group of friends visiting from Toronto. There wasn’t any lineups, which was convenient. We did make reservations ahead of time, but Was the second group of people to arrive there. We had 5 people. The place has a patio and even an indoor patio on the second floor. But the second floor patio is more covered.
The place is not huge, but is quite cozy. My friends and I were whisked upstairs. The décor is nice, you get a neat sense of some cultural aspects here and there.
The food, however, was very disappointing. The meat was dry and extremely salty. I was tasting salt more than the meat! I’ve been to Brazilian steakhouses in Toronto and also walked in with an expectation of them offering more variety in terms of well done to rare scale. Expectation not met. My favourite was probably the pineapples. As for the salad bar, it was very small. If I did need to make a comment. It would be to check the ingredients. It’s not fresh. But I’m not there for salad. So I didn’t have much.
Service wise, I thought our waitress in the beginning was nice. The guys serving the food were nice. They didn’t really explain the meats unless we asked. And when we inquired of the dessert menu, the second waitress was very rude. Maybe she had a bad day. But not professional. One visit here was enough.

Worst service ever! The salad bar was non-​existent, and whatever they had there was already getting old and stale. The waitress took forever to refill our drinks even though her station was right next to us. The person who was supposed to be diligent with serving our meat was ridiculous. He didnt understand our requests in any of the four languages that the venue was supposed to speak in; Spanish, Portuguese, English or French. The meat was ok but the portions were small and the guy rarely came to our table. For a $ 200 bill I expected more.

Okay experience. Meat was not impressive, mostly too dry and overcooked. Over priced for what they have to offer. Spent $ 100 for two. You can find much better restaurants around the area.

Small restaurant in Old Montréal. The explanations were well done. The small salad bar was quite nice with some Brazilian specialties on the side that were extremely tasty. The meat started coming by. I don’t know about others, but there was plenty of meat and they certainly didn’t limit us in any way. Pork ribs, sausages, skirt steak, lamb, roast beef, chicken all came around with no extra prompting. The service was nice and friendly from the French woman serving us, the man coming around with the meat was friendly and hospitable as well. We were a bit put off by the woman in the background who kept after the waitress and server but didn’t actually seem to do anything to actually help them, it made us a bit uncomfortable to watch someone treat others in this way.
Honestly, the Brazilian stew was the highlight here and just tasty. With the meat, try not to be the first served or you get the well-​done or over-​done piece on the outside. But we certainly didn’t feel like they were holding back on us at all. We actually had to turn over the coaster to tell them we had enough.

We booked a reservation for this restaurant through AccesResto part of Vie Urbaine. You are supposed to get a discount on the meal when you book through them. When we got to the restaurant my husband showed the e-​mail confirmation from Vie Urbaine to the hostess and she said «great, no problem!» Once we were seated it took about 15 – 20 minutes before the waiter even acknowledged our presence. My husband once again showed the reservation confirmation to the waiter.
After we ordered we went to what they call a salad bar. It had some cold macaroni, orange slices, rice, beans, tomatoes and wilted lettuce. Not impressive at all. After we got our plates and sat down the waiter said they could not honor our AccesResto discount because we needed to print the e-​mail confirmation. What? It doesn’t say anything about printing the voucher on their website. We decided not to make an issue of it and try to enjoy the meal since we had already sat down to eat but it was clearly their way of getting out of honoring the promotion. I guess they figured because we were tourists they didn’t care if we came back or not.
I wish we had read the reviews on this place before we went. They really don’t want serve you any meat. We were there for quite some time (because the service was so slow). They would carve little tiny pieces on to your plate when they bothered to come by and act like they were doing you a favor. It was disappointing. We’ve been to several Churrascaria chains like Fogo de Chao, Rafain and Texas de Brazil and this place was horribly disappointing. Unappealing salad bar, stingy carvers and slow service. I rarely take the time to write bad reviews but I’d like to save some other family from making the same mistake we did so I’m posting to Unilocal and TA. Skip this place.

What a bad experience !!! We reserved a table for 8 people to have a nice lunch and watch the World Cup soccer match on July 4^th. The game and the animation there was great, but the food… Horrible!!! Buffet was poor and cold. The meat was either raw or over cooked and tasted liked old meat. Not a lot of option either. For a place that charges $ 39 for the buffet (before taxes) they should have a decency to have excellent food to serve. I do not recommend at all, find other places around there with better food. I wish I had read the reviews before going there. We left hungry and upset.

I would not go back. The meat was either raw on the inside, as I had asked for rare, or it was dry and over cooked. Salad bar was fine, most things tasted and looked fresh. I have been to many churrascarias but this would have to be the worst.

This is a pretty good Rodizio but definitely needs work. The place is pretty small and people are rubbing shoulders to get around. The meat is not the best quality but the servers work hard to make you feel comfortable.
Not sure if Montréal has other Brazilian steakhouses but this is a decent option.

I was pretty excited for this place. I never had a chance to go to Copa Cabana in TO and thus place was similar to it.
Place smelled pretty go from the outside. When we got in, it was a pretty full house.
A little disappointed in the salad bar. Not much selection and things liked pretty messy. The meat came out pretty slow and not as frequent as I wanted it to. We were also seated in a corner which didn’t ready help. Only good thing is, the waiter got used to us asking for multiple servings after a couple of visit to our table. Lol. He than came more frequent.
I guess after trying this here in Montréal, I don’t think I would be trying the one in TO. Friends said not much of a difference.
This type of restaurant is good if you have never tried it before. But, not ready worth going again.
Price came out to be almost $ 40 a person.

They must be having a hard time keeping customers as there is a room reserved for Groupon /​Tuango and the like where they add a couple of salads to justify their claim of $ 90.00 worth of food for $ 39.00… These type of ripoff techniques seems to be encouraged by Tuango …
Service was good and the Brazilian hostess very pleasant but food was kind of bland as their limited cuts of meat are grilled on an electric grill. So don’t expect a Charcoal /​BBQ flavor as a Brazilian churrasco must have !!! The typical Brazilian feijão was pretty much just boiled beans with very little «tempero» (spices/​flavor) and the rice tasted as it had been reheated a few times…
Drinks are overpriced with a watered down caipirinha or a Corona going for $ 9.00 and a glass of a carton packed white house wine goes for $ 10.00 and a glass of Portuguese bottled wine for $ 15.00.
What was good? The $ 10.00 trio of fried yucca /​polenta /​bananas was OK …
So there isn’t yet a good Brazilian churrascaria in Montréal …

Great food, a little lacking on variety but top notch service, and isn’t that all it’s really about?

Brazilian meat culture is defined by picanha and if that’s what you’re after, don’t even bother. Lowest quality of the cut I’ve ever tried at a rodízio. Overall very disappointing. On the other hand, servers were great and very friendly.

The food was good, but I think that the staff there does not like Americans. Just as other reviewers said, it’s not «all you can eat», but rather «all we will give you». It felt a bit uncomfortable to have to ask the waiters to give us more meat when they were blatantly trying to avoid giving us food.
This restaurant needs to decide if they are real rodizio or not.
No complaints on the actual food except for the salad bar — it was pretty bad.

The Most Authentic Brazilian Food in Montréal. Meat lovers must try!

Great meat and average side salads. I don’t give 5 stars since the Brazilian black beans where not that great. It looks like they opened a can and dumped them on the pot. The atmosphere was good and service was excellent. I found it also a bit pricey and there is not the option of ½ rodizio as it is mentioned by another comment. Comparing with the big Restaurant «La Milsa» this one has better meat quality but lower quality in the salad bar.

We visited this new restaurant to celebrate the birthday of a Brazilian friend. The building is gorgeous and the decorations and ambiance are great, they have a lovely courtyard on the second floor.
The food was very good, with a great selection of meat cuts and a decent (not big) salad bar. Personally, I think that the best bang for buck is the HALF-​buffet which gives you one trip to the salad bar and 4 cuts of meat, enough for a meal. (If you don’t eat pork let them know when ordering and they will bring you alternative meat cuts.) If you want to go all out and haven’t eaten in two days, go for the full buffet with all-​you-​can-​eat meat and salad bar. They have a varied à la carte menu too, but for your first visit I suggest you try the meat cuts. They serve a decent caipirinha, not enough cachaça and too much ice for my taste.
The staff is very friendly, though I found that some of them don’t speak French and only basic English, so if you aren’t familiar with the food or how a churrascaria works you might have to wait until they call on another staff member to explain.
Groups beware: they will add 15% tip to you bill automatically! But they failed to let us know, so many people in our party paid double tip and then the waiters got offended when they asked for some of it back.
Overall a good Brazilian restaurant in an excellent location and a decent price ($ 15 half and $ 30 full buffet), try it next time you’re in Old Montréal.
